Mr. Dang Van Xuan achieved success with his pigeon farming model. |
After graduating from Hue University of Education in 2013, Dang Van Xuan had hoped for a stable job in his field of study. However, at that time, finding a job in his field was difficult, so he couldn't find the job he wanted. Therefore, he pondered over finding a new direction for himself. After researching and learning from books, newspapers, the internet, and some practical models in other localities, Xuan realized that pigeon farming was suitable for his family's conditions, required little investment, the breeding techniques could be learned independently, and especially, the market demand was quite stable. From there, he boldly mortgaged his land title to borrow 100 million VND from the Dien Hoa People's Credit Fund (now Phong Phu ward) to invest in cages and buy pigeon breeding stock.
The early days of his business were not easy. Due to a lack of practical experience, his pigeon flock faced many risks, especially regarding disease outbreaks and low breeding rates. However, with his diligent and hardworking nature, along with his pedagogical knowledge, he developed a scientific research and documentation method to learn from his experiences and find effective ways to handle diseases. In addition, he proactively participated in training courses on animal husbandry, sought out materials, and learned from successful pigeon farming models elsewhere, gradually improving his care, disease prevention, and flock expansion processes.
Thanks to perseverance and a systematic approach, Mr. Xuan's pigeon farming model gradually stabilized and became effective. To date, his family's pigeon farm consistently maintains a scale of approximately 2,300 breeding pairs, cared for according to scientific procedures, ensuring hygiene in the cages and disease prevention. Simultaneously, he also combines this with raising chickens and ducks in flocks of 200-300 birds per batch. On average, the pigeon farm alone sells 400 pairs per month, generating an income of 50-60 million VND. After deducting expenses, this leaves a considerable surplus, allowing his family to live a stable life and accumulate savings.
Currently, Mr. Xuan's pigeons are regularly sold in localities such as Quang Tri, Da Nang , and many markets and restaurants in the region. In particular, he and his wife have become a main buyer of pigeons from small farms and breeders both within and outside the local area to supply the market. This approach not only helps him secure a reliable supply and expand his business but also facilitates collaborative production among breeders, contributing to the formation of a stable product distribution chain.
Mr. Dang Van Xuan's pigeon farming model has been highly praised by many local officials, not only for its economic benefits to his family but also as a shining example for local youth to boldly change their business direction, leverage their internal resources, and make good use of preferential credit sources to develop their economy. Mr. Xuan's model also affirms the important role of the Dien Hoa People's Credit Fund in accompanying and providing timely capital support to people, especially young entrepreneurs. The loan capital not only helps Mr. Xuan invest in production but also creates motivation for him to confidently commit to his chosen economic model in the long term.
Mr. Nguyen Dang Phuc, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Phong Phu Ward, affirmed: "Mr. Dang Van Xuan is a prime example of a young person who dares to think and act, effectively utilizing credit capital and applying science and technology to production. Not only does his model provide a stable income for his family, but it also creates a consumption link, supporting many other livestock farmers to develop together. This is a suitable direction that the local government always encourages and replicates."
